Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina recently honored Little Neck, NY-based Leviton Manufacturing[1] Co. for its successful employee wellness programs. Leviton was one of three companies recognized at the insurance company’s 7th annual Healthcare Symposium in Pinehurst, NC, during which Leviton representatives shared their best practices.

In an effort to combat sedentary lifestyles and rising healthcare costs, Leviton offers a number of opportunities for employees to become more health-conscious, including smoking cessation seminars, health club deals and a forthcoming fitness program modeled after the NBC series “The Biggest Loser.” The results have been tangible; Leviton saw a significant drop in paid medical claims from 2006 to 2007.
